3245.—The Passover Lamb and Our Lord

By H. R. C.

Was there a lamb prepared and eaten by Jesus and His disciples at the last supper and partaken of by them?

It seems to be without question that there was. We find the direction for eating the Passover in Exodus 12. It is there made very clear. Before the Passover Jesus sent His disciples and they were commanded to ask of the man in whose house they celebrated the Passover, "The Master saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?" Mark 14:14. The disciples were there bidden to make ready, and in the making ready they must have followed the directions given in Exodus 12. Jesus ate the Passover with them, for we read in Luke 22:15 His own words, "With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." The conclusion therefore seems inevitable that they must have slain the paschal lamb and that He must have eaten it with His disciples.
